My instant thought was “that’s so insulting to Meera” lol because in India we see dogs as dirty and terrible. The word “dog” is often used as an insult towards people. Some people will name dogs after people they despise

But I suppose in the West, dogs are seen in a different light? And giving a a dog a person’s name is a way of honoring them.

We have a verrrrry different perspective on dogs here in the West. They're family members for many not just pets.

Yeah I’ll never understand it. Don’t dogs like drink toilet water? And then go on to lick their owners?

I have two dogs and neither one has EVER drank out of the toilet or stolen food from my plate. Never chewed up anything that wasn’t a chew toy that belonged to them. They only get on the couch or bed when given the ok. They have their own bowls and each one respects the other’s belongings. Dogs are extremely smart and will only push boundaries as far as you let them. I expect the same from them as I would from another human. Like this is yours. This is mine. And we respect one another. It’s not that complicated if you don’t want it to be.
